Releasing in February in the UK, the film will see the couple lend their voices to ducks Joe and Ellie in an unexpected cameo. The two birds are set to play a pivotal role as they inspire Migration's central family to go on their own family trip after visiting the Mallards' New England pond on their way to Jamaica.
I'm a Celebrity... winner Giovanna, who's a parenting podcaster, author and presenter, commented: "I'm a huge fan of Illumination films and it was really a delight to be asked to take on the role of Ellie."

"It will be so exciting for the kids to hear us in an Illumination film; this is such a fun movie to be part of showcasing the importance of strong family bonds," he said.
